Bizarre beauty treatments

From urine to bee venom, here are some strange ingredients taking the beauty world by storm.

An American woman considers herself ‘average’ in her hometown, but far from it over in Scandinavia.

Marie Horace said: “I am mostly of Latin Afro Caribbean descent and it's quite diverse where I live, so I am considered pretty average looking.

“Most guys go for full-figured women like the Kardashians but I am what most people here would label as "skinny" and I got teased at school quite a bit actually because of it.

“Imagine my surprise when at University I went on a trip to Scandinavia, and got reactions there from men I never in a million years thought possible - I was called beautiful more times than I could count and I've seen Swedish women, they are gorgeous!”

Attractiveness: An American man said his love life 'exploded' in Singapore

The UK wasn’t left off the beauty list, with an Eastern European woman liking the attention she received here.

Alzbeta Ze from the Czech Republic said: “I have never been considered particularly beautiful - the beauty standard in the Czech Republic is tanned women with slim bodies but proper boobs and hips, long hair, clear skin and symmetrical faces.

“I’m not fat but I have quite a lot of curves and my skin is really, really pale.

“But whenever I go to the UK, I am approached and invited on dates a lot and when I lived in Sweden I got a lot of attention from men there.”

An Asian-American man from America said travelling to Singapore significantly improved his love life.

Wansai Ounkeo said: “In America, my dating life was pretty barren.

“After landing in Singapore, my dating life basically exploded and just kept exploding.

“I even had strangers follow me and proposition me for various sexual activities.”
